Author Description

In the Winter 2010 issue of Southern Cultures: Hal Crowther takes on H.L. Mencken (and Rush Limbaugh, too); Southerners battle hornets, rattlesnakes, and bears—so they can pick blackberries; Cowboy Troy crosses country music with hip-hop and says his belt buckle is bling; The experts redraw the boundaries of North and South; The Home of the Double-Headed Eagle rises amidst a line of shotgun shacks; and much more. Southern Cultures is published quarterly (spring, summer, fall, winter) by the University of North Carolina Press. The journal is sponsored by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Center for the Study of the American South.
